Markdress

Markdress lets you serve Markdown files as a website.

This used to be hosted at http://markdress.org but not since Dec 2012. (To render a Markdown file at http://goo.gl/zTG1q, you would have visited http://markdress.org/goo.gl/zTG1q)

Clone this repo and run it behind PHP on Apache. If this folder is at /markdress/, then /markdress/goo.gl/zTG1q will automatically load http://goo.gl/zTG1q

Sample usage:

<form onsubmit="window.location+=document.forms[0].path.value.replace(/^.*:\/\//, '');return false;">
  <label>
    Type a Markdown URL:
    <input name="path" placeholder="URL">
  </label>
  <button type="Submit">Render</button>
</form>

Alternatives

• DropPages.com lets you share Dropbox files as web pages.
• Pancake.io lets you share Dropbox files as web pages.
• Calepin.co lets you blog using Dropbox.
• Markdrop lets you preview Markdown on the browser.

So why Markdress? To test throwaway pages without creating accounts.

Feel free to use it. But there's no guarantee the site will remain forever.

FAQ

Can I use my own hosted version of Markdress?

Yes. Download from https://github.com/sanand0/markdress.

Can I use Markdress with GitHub, Bitbucket, etc?

Only if they have a http:// address (not https://). But these sites already render text markup as HTML in their Wikis. So why bother?

Does Markdress cache the URL?

Not yet.

Whom do I pass on feedback to?

Anand. If you have a feature suggestion, fork the repository and submit your pull request.
